Intergraph Corporation v. Bentley Systems Incorporated and Bentley Systems Europe B.v. Bentley Systems Incorporated…

Summary

The court affirmed most of the trial court’s judgment but reversed the calculation of Bentley’s lost-profit damages and the limitation of those damages to the first year. It held that Bentley’s damages calculation had to deduct the increased note obligation that would have resulted from successful renewals, but that Bentley could also recover reasonably proven lost profits for years two through five. The court otherwise upheld the note calculation, indemnification of reasonable legal expenses, and related rulings.
